No bi-weekly menu this time, folks! We have been out of town for the past nine days, and today was busy-busy recuperating from our lovely vacation. (Why won't bills pay themselves, lawns mow themselves, or errands run themselves when you are out of town?) We spent the evening doing about three hours of yard work before running off to our Moe's Monday. I am so excited by the changing season -- the time of year where fresh fruits and veggies abound and the day stays later so spring picnic dinners can be enjoyed. (: Catch ya on the flip side.

The Mahi & chicken are on sale at the grocer this week, so we'll be trying them out. (Mahi was sold out, so I purchased two Barber's stuffed chicken breasts and Perogies instead.) We are still trying to do some freezer cleaning, thus the leftover tortellini and the breakfast for dinner. This plan should be in accordance with our new food budget of $60/week for groceries! I'm going to look more into preparing meals ahead and freezing to maybe save money. We have limited freezer space, though, so this may be a challenge. Does anyone have experience in doing this?
